TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona State University baseball players Mike Esposito and Rod Allen have been named to the 2001 Baseball America Summer League All-America Team. Allen and Esposito were both named to the second team.

Esposito, who was 5-2 with a 4.06 ERA as a starting pitcher for the Sun Devils in 2001, was 3-1 with a 1.56 ERA for Team USA over the summer.
